Straddling the line between progressive and trance, Estiva, reveals the debut track off his forthcoming EP, "Koalastrike". Born as Steven Baan, the young Dutch electronic producer quickly found his niche at Enhanced Music and in 2007 he released his first track, the fast-paced trance song "Stella". From there Baan continued to build his reputation, and last year saw him drop track after track on his home music label, alongside superstars Tritonal and Super8 & Tab. "Koalastrike", one part of the Three Strikes EP trio, captivates listeners with a pulsing pinging, only to be wiped by heavy synth blasts hitting on the full counts of the drop. It's a track you know will be a set favorite, released when the crowd wants to hit that next level crazy.

Included in the premiere is a snapshot of the entire EP, a montage of stuttered black and white images with a 15 second glimpse of each thrilling progressive house tune. Though the tracks definitely belong to one theme, every one has a signature sound. Keep your ear out for the Three Strikes EP, which, like the Metamorphic series by Tritonal, will drop single by single: February 17th for "Koalastrike", March 10th for "Boxmeister", and "Shoesham" on March 31st.
